Do you remember when mousing over a picture would show the alt tag in something resembling a tooltip? (Maybe it can still be set like this, but isn't default in Chrome or Firefox anymore.) I recall being quite amused sometimes at what people would write as their alt text.

I think the `title` attribute is used to show the tooltips.
